📍 Oakland Redwoods｜Hiking + Forest Therapy 🌲☀️

Escaped the city noise and spent a whole day walking through Oakland’s Redwood Regional Park. The air smelled of trees, sunlight filtered through towering redwoods, and a soft carpet of pine needles underfoot—wrapped gently in nature’s embrace. You don’t have to go far—the Bay Area has its own forest sanctuary. 📍 Trail Pick Stream Trail + Fern Trail loop, about 6 miles, gentle slopes, passing streams, shaded groves, and fern-filled valleys—great for beginners. 🎒 Tips Bring enough water and snacks—few refill spots Bug spray is a must (especially near streams) Sunscreen for the stronger afternoon sun Parking fills up on weekends—arrive early 🌿 If you’re looking for a place to breathe deeply and feel the warmth of nature, this is truly worth it. Every second feels memorable, every view like stepping into a forest film. #BayAreaHiking #OaklandRedwoods #WeekendHealing #StudentLife #ForestWalk #BayAreaHiddenGem #NatureTherapy
